look at Dallas OL  
bc4life : 11/24/2014 12:20 am : link
and look at Giants DL - it's a talent issue to some degree.

Wonder if Ayers was hurt. Didn't seem like he got that many snaps or he wasn't that effective.

Pugh gives them absolutely nothing in the pass rush.

Another guy who's good but not worth the numbers being thrown around. He's going to be overpaid, and we need to let him walk if that's the case, even if it is a step back.


Why do you think that JPP is going to be overpaid. He had one year as an elite lineman and he's been going downhill ever since. We have to keep him because he's still a better than average DE and we have so many worse than average players to replace.

No one is going to pay JPP elite lineman salary.

Its uncanny how the defense fails to step up  
trueblueinpw : 11/24/2014 12:22 am : link
After the OBJ catch, we get nothing. After Eli drives the field and takes the lead, at home, the defense can't get a stop.

How anyone doesn't see this is the fault of the D-co is beyond me. Fewell has no feel for the game. He has no adjustments at halftime. He's a fucking joke and has been a fucking joke for 5 years now.

Fire him tomorrow morning. Start rebuilding the defense tomorrow.

ed90631 : 11/24/2014 12:27 am : link
For those who think Eli lost the game, you're right. He has to be perfect in order to win with this team and he made mistakes.

For those who think the defense lost the game, you're right. They no-showed in the last quarter and blew the lead late. No pressure, no coverage.

For those who blame Fewell, you're right. bad schemes, bad personel choices late in the game, bad overal strategy. They give up 30+ points way too often.

For those who blame Reese, you're right. This talentless roster couldn't beat a girl's high school team (there are a few exceptions but not many)and that fact has to be left right at his doorstep.

For those who blame Coughlin, you're right. He's the big cheese, he's the man repsonsible. You can't tell me he didn't see this coming. His coaching trajectory here mirrors his trajectory at Jacksonville (it did reach much higher but is ending the same way.) The Jags weren't sentimental about their sucess with Tom. They moved on when the stink of failure grew to great. Time for the Giants to do the same.

Hate to say it, but I don't think we can anymore. If we end up paying Eli top dollar, then have to surround him with a series of high draft picks/FA OL, then there won't be enough left to rebuild the rest of the team.

I don't like it one bit, because I do like Eli a lot - beyond the SBs, he's always been a gamer and a good soldier, and he's a solid citizen. He's been fantastic at times, and he's delivered on the biggest stage.

But - the guy needs more to work with than most of your other top shelf QBs. Not just an OL, but the other skill positions, and paying him another big contract just won't leave the funds we need to do that.

Would another team come in and gladly take him off our hands? I don't doubt it, but I think we'd both be better off that way. I don't see us rebuilding this team through the draft in enough time for Eli to be a part of it. We're at least a couple of seasons away that way.

Problem is, even when we do blitz, we can't get there. We almost had to there however. He had way tooo much time on that drive.

I just don't believe that Reese, Mara and co will separate with him. I think they want him to stay, want him to succeed. Only way is to build that line.

our front included Tuck, Joseph, JPP, Osi, Blackburn and Boley. Add Hill in place of Stevie Wonder.

Last 3 games against Seahawks, 49ers, and Cowboys,  
Shockeyisthebest80 : 11/24/2014 12:42 am : link
the scores were tied in 4th quarter, down 6, and up 4. This team isn't completely devoid of talent. They just don't have enough to get over the hump late in games versus good teams.

Postives:

- ODB is the man.
- Schwartz did an excellent job at RT.
- I thought McAdoo called a really good game.

Negatives:

- The d-line is an embarrassment. Outside of Hankins & Ayers, none of them have earned their paychecks.
- I hope the Giants feel good about whatever lesson was taught by cutting Will Hill when they watch Demps play atrocious football week after week.
- Hosley and Kiwanuka are TERRIBLE football players.
- For a guy who will probably want a ton of money, JPP sure comes up small a lot.
- The o-line is still poor.
- The Giants have a grand total of ZERO TEs with the ability to run block. Donnell is single-handedly killing the running game when he's in there.
- Perry Fewell should've been fired during the bye.

Randle, Parker, Cruz (laid up in his bed with his return to health far from certain), Jennings, etc. are well below average skill position players when compared with other teams. Cooper is one of the few players for whom there's little question he'll succeed as a pro.

I don't really care for any of the o-linemen considered 1st round prospects outside of the LSU tackle. I would trade a shitload for Williams from USC. However, I don't think any of the top-flight DL fall to the Giants.

I would go for Iupati as our big FA and do whatever it takes to get Amari in the draft.

A line of Beatty-Iupati-Richburg-Schwartz-Pugh with an OL pick in round 2 (possibly as a left tackle to replace Beatty down the line) would work. Get Amari and the offense could be fire with Amari, Odell and hopefully Cruz at WR.

The defense actually has some talent, it just needs a LOT better coaching. If they add defense they need at least one LB, one pass rusher and a safety
So Fewell was a genius when he had a DL of  
Reese's Pieces : 11/24/2014 1:04 am : link
Tuck (5 sacks), JPP (16.5 sacks), Joseph (2 sacks), and Osi (9 sacks) and a good blitzing linebacker in Boley and he is a fool now with Kiwanuka (1.5 sacks), JPP (3.5 sacks), and Hankis/Moore (5.5 sacks combined).

Did Ayers play tonight? He is our leading sackster with 6.

Ah, shit. You had to know that we were going to pay for those two magic years with some crap years. Life seems to work that way.

The genius that realized that was where the QB market was going and if they didn't pay him to keep their window open (and given how he dragged a bad team along for most of the year in 2011, to give them a chance to get hot, in order to win a SB, I'd say he kept it open probably more than this FO deserved), someone else would have gladly taken him off their hands in 2008.

Also: Eli's AAV of his contract is $16.2M. His $20M+ cap hit is what it is because of previous restructuring by the Giants and how they chose to lay the contract. It has nothing to do with Manning's value or even what he's pulling in in total; it's a matter of accounting by the Giants.

For the record, Alex Smith is a $17M AAV. Andy Dalton is a $19M AAV (though he won't see the full length of his deal). Joe Flacco is a $20.1M AAV. Carson Palmer's extension puts him at $16.6M (though he won't see the full length of his either).

If you're picking at 8 there's a pretty good chance that Brandon Scherff is gone, and then after that you've got Peat who I like but who I'd have to think long and hard about spending a top 10 pick on.

LT's have a big bust rate, and you have to be sure.

Iupati will be the most prized OG FA, guys like him make huge money. There will also be competition for him, its not like the Giants are the only game in town.

Pugh has played poorly this season. Schwartz played terribly at LG. Richburg just got benched? There are no sure things on this OL AT ALL. Well except that Jerry and Walton suck. Beatty choke holds DEs.

It has to be the draft, ok forget the 1st 2 rds. Draft an OT rd 1, that's a start. Maybe Pugh can kick inside. Beatty/Pugh/Richburg/Schwartz/Ogbuehi. They can draft Beatty's replacement next year when his contract is cuttable.

Daniel in MI : 11/24/2014 2:29 am : link
except a couple of bad plays - yeah. But, that INT was a terrible, terrible throw, in the red zone, with no pressure.

So, Eli wasn't the only reason for the loss, but he was A reason in this game. I like Eli, but he's got to make the easy plays.

The throw to Beckham that never was, that's a tougher call. You could hear Collinsworth say, "uh oh" as soon as OBJ got open and he thought it was a TD about to happen. It's hard to say if Eli could have/should have thrown it. I'd have to see it again to see why he couldn't. But, a 20 million dollar QB has a streaking WR get wide open...yeah, you'd like to see that ball in the air.

But, as usual for this year, this game ultimately came down to the D who shit the bed. Again. They're just pathetic, and it starts with PF because I have to think we have better talent to get a pass rush than we're managing to show. I mean, 7 fucking seconds...jeezus.

Well, that's his philosophy right there - you have the game on the line - two minutes to play at home - a wasted season that everyone knows is going no where - and Perry limp dick Fewell is going to play it safe. The guy is a fucking joke. At least go down swinging. But no - not Fewell. We gave up the game winning drive with 3 minutes left at home. Fucking pathetic.
